Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Sprinting Through The Alphabet
Nicholas Payne · 2023
70/100
👍 Worth It
A seventh-grader writing an alphabet book about his own sport is a genuinely inspiring story, and the track-and-field vocabulary hook gives this ABC book more purpose than most in a saturated genre. Families with young sports fans will find it charming, though the concept is inherently thin and appeal to non-running households is limited.
